COLLAB Roua ATELIER

TRUE COLORS

This limited and exclusive collection is in collab with Roua Atelier.
It marks a significant departure from industrial methods, embracing the ancient art of natural dyeing. This technique uses dyes extracted from plants, minerals, and other natural sources. Find out how NO two garments are exactly the same, as variations in plant materials and dyeing methods ensure that each piece is truly unique.

YES STATIEGELD

Je houdt van mode, maar wil niet bijdragen aan de groeiende textiel-afvalberg? Vanaf nu gaan wij samen de modecirkel sluitend maken. Met jouw aankoop zorg je dat je sweater 100% circulair wordt. Samen creëren we een wereld zonder kledingafval.

NO CIRCULARITY WITHOUT YOU

YES statiegeld, NO textile waste

New Optimist takes the revolutionary step towards 'statiegeld' on clothing. You are in control to ensure that your favourite sweater eventually becomes part of the fashion circle of life again.

1. We don’t create waste or pollution
2. We make durable garments
3. We use recycled materials and guarantee garment recyclability
